Trudging through Northern Peru
... finally get going they're very quick. Huanchaco is a very pretty fishing village with the reed canoes as in Pintel, however, Huanchaco also attracts a very colourful crowd of surfers and hippy's. A cool enough place for me to spend an afternoon. I ...

For the love of Peru...
Out of Lima and towards Trujillo, or moreso Huanchaco, I'm looking for small surf villages with little much to do. Some beer and good food, and some friendly locals. This is exactly what I got, staying in a hostel/surf rental place overlooking the beach. ...
